about three sizes too large, fell to my
share, and when my small feet were
duly installed in their roomy quarters
was prouder Of them than I have
ever been OF a pair of shoes since.
Once ma and aunt G. concluded that
they would learn to weave, but when
they anxiously inquired of weaving
nelghbor now long it would take to
learn, and were promptly informed "a
Lifetime" they renounced the project
as altogether chimerical, and returned
to their turning and twisting, devising
and inventing. They once made a
gorgeous overdress of a lace curtain
and sold it for a fancy price to an en-
raptured young woman for wedding
dress, and so it went on to the end of
the chapter.
But our hardest rubs were not in
the matter of clothes; we could, and
certainly did. do on very little cloth.
ing in that climate; it was the eating
that brought the tug OF war, and it
would take volume to relate our
experiences in that line. Flour, sugar
and coffee, we never saw; meat we
had only about half the time, and
thought ourselves fortunate when we
had enough meal. There was only
one mill within reach OF the communi-
ty, managed solely by little, bent,
shriveledf old woman, who looked
like a veritable witch as she sat knit
ting on a narrow platform over the
water, made by two or three boards
loosely laid down. Fully half the
| time the mill was out of order or the
w at % Of to +
ter, and then there would not be
munity, and we would have
to live on briled Or parched
corn; and sometimes we did not have
that; sometimes we had nothing in the
world but sweet popatoes. Often we
did not have grain of salt. We chill
dren would eat anything and every
thing that came in our way. I re-
member once the boys caught a large
fish Of the kind known as alhgatorgar,
by no meanes considered desirable
variety, and when ma refused to cook
it we bri!ed it in the washpot with
about q peck of Irish potatoes and
shallots and had a nocturnal outdoor
feast with great jolity and subsequent
general cholera morbus. We about
eterrated the rabbits and even tried
dry land terapins, though I, for my
part, did not like the flavor. I think
we surely eat everything that was
ever eaten before Or since.
All! They were dark days, those
"war times" The railroad was torn
up, the telegraph wires destroyed, no
mails, no communication with the
outer world where so many we loved
were facing death. Day after
day the older ones sat in
darkness with heavy, joyless hearts,
waiting for news that seldom came.
l remember we'll how one night a let
ter Or paper came and my father, who
was then at home, read aloud that
| Stonewall jackson was dead, and
then dropped his head upon the bare
table and wept, while we children
stood around awestruck, impressed,
feeling vaguely that some dread ca
lamity had fallen; somewhere. And
there were dark days when the shad-
ow of sorrow fell upon our young
hearts and we realized that war was
in truth a mighty and fearful thing.
And the memories of that ime will
dwell forever in my mind, like the re-
membrance OF some strange, sad
dream. -

OVER THE OCEAN,
Ireland,

DUBLIN, Oct 6.-Work of eviction con.
tinued at Giveedore today. The inmates
Of Widow Boles' house stoutly resisted the
evictors by throwing boiling water upon
them. Baliffs demolished the house, and
the chimney having tumbled, the Debris
took fire. Seven persons were arrested.
Owing to the hostile demeanor of specta
tors, the police were ordered to prepare for
fire, whereupon Constable Haughrey ad,
vanced and threw down his rifle, declining
TO obey orders. He will probably be
arrested.
The trial of Lord Mayor Sullivan and
Dir. 'Brien for publishing in the papers

which was followed by John Dillon, mem

and others. The city marshal, wearing q
cooked hat and sword, led the civic digni
taries who were all arrayed in full robes
of Office. Mr.. O'Brien Joined
the procession soon after 1t started and
proceeded TO the court. The lord mayor
and Mr. O'Brien were recipients Of a great
ovation along the entire route. A Gordon
of police surrounded the Mansion House
and prevented The crowd from approach
ing the court room. After the case had
been called a warm dispute occurred be-
tween the police attendants in court and
Mr.. Sexton, member of parliament and
nigh sheriff Of Dublin, arising from the
desire of the latter to place the city
sword and mace before the magistrate.
The police attempted to prevent the plac
iDg of the city emblems on the table,
wbereupon Mr.. Sexton and other munich
pal officers seized the sword and attempted
10 place it there by force. The police and
officers then struggled for their
possession, while the spectators cheered
Sexton, and cried Hold on, hold on
After few minutes both sides desisted,
and partial settlement was effected. The
sword was then placed on the magistrates

Lloyd then took refuge In the Office of

Respited on Novel Grounds.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. While muir
derer McCabe, who escaped from jail in
May and was not recaptured until few
days ago, was at large, the governor was
compelled to respite him In order that when
captured all the laws requirements would
have been carried out. McCabe today,
through his counsel, filed a petition with
the governor asking for respite on the
ground that at he time the sentence of
hanging should have been executed he was
not In the jurisdiction of the court and the
respite was illegally and unlawfully issued
bv The governor. Later Governor Beaver
granted the respite until November 10.
The,prisouer was overjoyed when he heard
the news and said: well. there is hope"
All preparations had peen made for the
execution tomorrow.

kept his hands behind him and simply
bowed as the people passed. Many OF
them were not satisfied with this, however,
and persisted in touching his clothes with
their hands. From Schlitz park the party
drove to the exposition building and thence,
after brief rest, to the Plapkinton house.
Mrs. Cleveland had left the procession
early In the afternoon and at o'clock
dined at the residence of John L. Mitchell,
resident manager of the Soldiers Home.
The dinner party was confined to the
chief guest and ten ladies. From here
Mrs. Cleveland was driven to the residence
Of James Kneeland, on Grand avenue,
where she gave public reception, lasting
until o'clock, when she was driven TO the
Plankington hotel, where she listened to
the toasts at the merchants banquet from
the balcony of the dining ball.
AT THE BANQUET.
The president said: Il feel like thanking
you for remembering me on this occasion
as the president of the United States, for l
am sure you but intended respectful rec
ognition Of the dignity and Importance Of
the high Office l, for the time being, hold
10 trust for you and for the American PEG
pie. 1t is a high Office because it repre-.
senfs the sovereignty Of free and
mighty people. 1t is full of solemn
responsibility and duty, because 1t embodies
in a greater degree than any other Office on
earth. As an American citizen chosen
from the mass of my fellow countrymen to
assume for time this responsibility and
this duty, | acknowledge with patriotic
satisfaction your tribute to the Office which
belongs to US all. And because 1t
belongs TO all the people, the obligation
Is manifest on their part to maintain
a constant and continuous watchfulness
and interest concerning It's care and opera
ton. Their duty is not entirely done when
they have exercised their suffrage and indi
Gated their choice of the incumbent. nor is
their duty performed by settling down to
bitter malignant and senseless abuse Of ali
that is done or attempted to be done by the
incumbent selections. The acts Of an ad
ministration should not be approved
as a matter of course and
for no better reason than
tbst 1t represents political party; but more
unpatriotic than ali others are those who
have neither party discomfort nor fair
ground for criticism to excuse or justify
their conduct rail because of personal dis
appointment, who misrepresent for sensa
tional purposes and who profess TO see
swift destruction in the rejection Of their
plans of governmental management. After
all, we need have no fear that the
American people will permit this high
office of president TO suffer. There Is a
patriotic sentiment abroad, and which In
the midst of all party feeling and all party
will assert itself and will
insist that the Office which stands for the
people will, shall and in all its vigor, min
